Is is possible to work the Night beat and still work out to gain muscle?

[PEACE WARRIOR]

Hi,

I'm currently an academy recruit with CPD in Florida's Gulf coast area. As of right now i'm heavily involved with bodybuilding/strength training and I am curious as to some of the techniques/theories/methods of the veteran night shift LEOs that are used to live a somewhat normal life even while on the night tour. Are you really that wiped out after a night shift that all you do is sleep all day???



Any tips for this soon to come issue will help...

Most of the officers where I work stay up after shift til around 3 or 4 pm after shift, then sleep til 10 and wake up for work.

If not, they sleep from 9 til 3, get up, do their thing, then work.

You can lead a normal life.

Typically work out when I get home. Then sleep.
